You must have found a very old version of LilyPond.
The current instructions are fully relevant for lilypond version 2.0.1,
which is what you will find on all Cygwin mirrors that have been
updated during the last months.

I got it to work now, but perhaps the instructions on the website for an
install on Windows (at least on my version of Windows, which is W2K)
need to be updated. Double-clicking on the file does not generate the
pdf, neither does entering the command 'lilypond test.ly'. But I found
that if I enter 'ly2dvi -p test.ly' then I get the desired pdf file.
